Another Conflict of Legal Authority.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 15.-There is a conflict
of jurisdiction between the State and federal
courts in Georgia, which is likely to assume con-
siderable Importance. William M. Miller runs
a distilery in De Kalb county. which he refused
to close in obedience to the prohibition law He
was indicted therefor before Judge Clark and
was trial when, by writ of habeas corpus,
he was taken from that court md the case trans
ferred to the federal court. This caused Judge
Clark to write letter to Governor Gordon in
which he denounced the action of Judge Pardee
as an infringement on the States sovereignty.
and asked that the State take measures to pro.
tect itself against such encroachments. He
said: las | understand it, it is sin against the
very alphabet of the law to convert the writ of
habeas corpus into a continuance'for defeating a
criminal trial" The State will appear as party
to the case in Judge Pardees court, and claim
jurisdiction of the prisoner.
